Matt responded to my email with a phone call and came over the same day. He figured out a solution and resolved it immediately in less than 2 hours. I hope he will be available for my big projects. He reflects the best attributes of a contractor (and more).

Really well done. They were on time, did what they said they would and charged what they said they would. What more can you ask for. They were conscientious about clean-up/pick-up and left the area in as good as condition as one can expect. Thanks.

Arrived when he said he would. If I were capable and had the opening to the tank cleared, it would have been a little cheaper, but he had to dig around to find it. He emptied the tank and also cleared the plugged line between the house and tank. He was efficient, professional and pleasant.

He did the trenching for the post. After the electricians were finished, he offered to come back and fill the hole. He did not have have to do that, and was not going to charge me. He went out of his way to help me. I would give him an A+. He was very fair in his price. When he installed the...

It went really well. Darren responded immediately when I told him about my treacherous driveway and he had the job completed in two days. Even though the job cost more than I thought it would, Darren's price was fair considering how much rock he needed to bring in and how much work he did on my...

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
